Daily Breeze Endorses Betty Yee for State Controller

On September 26, the Bakersfield Californian released its endorsement of Betty Yee for reelection as State Controller.

The role of state controller might not be the most glamorous of positions in California government, but it is certainly one of the most important.

California’s dual status as the fifth-largest economy in the world and one of the most progressive states in the nation yields a massive and complex system. As such, the Golden State needs a capable and experienced candidate to serve as the state’s chief financial officer and independent watchdog.

In our view, incumbent Controller Betty Yee best fulfills these expectations and we recommend her re-election this November.
